Tair Carn Uchaf (Welsh for 'Upper Three Cairns') is a hill in the Brecon Beacons National Park (Welsh: Parc Cenedlaethol Bannau Brycheiniog) in the county of Carmarthenshire, Wales. Its summit sits atop a plateau-like ridge at 482 metres (1,580 ft) above sea level and is marked by one of the three huge cairns which give the mountain its name. The main ridge leads southwest towards the subsidiary top of Tair Carn Isaf ("Lower Three Cairns", 51.8344°N 3.9113°W / 51.8344; -3.9113 (Tair Carn Isaf)), which hosts further cairns. The summit of this top lies at 460 metres (1,510 ft), whilst a trig point just to its southwest lies at a height of 459 metres (1,506 ft). To the south of the main ridge lies the subsidiary peak of Drysgol which reaches a height of 393 metres (1,290 ft).
